The plot itself is cute enough, however the bad acting and bad soundtrack outweighs the pros of the movies

Let's start off by saying if you are even watching this movie you should not be expecting Oscar worthy performances, but the young man they choose for the lead role left a lot to be desired. I will say that the plot was cute, and it could have been a great one... alas the movie just fell flat. There were a few things that really annoyed me, such as why would his foster parents not allow animals? And what ever happened with his mom? And did he ever make amends with the store owner? There was a lot that could have been done that just wasn't. It was cute to watch once, (If you can get over some horrible acting) but definitely not one I will be rewatching come the holidays.

Really,such bad acting. The dogs were adorable (that's why it's not a one star) and you could tell they tried. They're the reason I kept watching. The humans were ridiculous. How does that even happen? It's like the script was written the night before and the high school drama club would have done a much better job. It could have been a wonderful movie and I hope someone rewrites it and either gives the actors more time to learn the lines...extra takes when they screw up and let them/hope they can...get into their characters more. I'm not all the way through it yet and I certainly hope everything works out perfectly at the end...that IS protocol for these movies after all.
